Chapter 315: Come with me, please

The rain was drizzling outside the window. The window was not closed and there was a chill in the cold wind.

Liang Hanyue was not sleepy at all. She sat in front of the window, watching the raindrops hitting her hands and soaking them little by little. Her eyes were numb and empty.

I kept my eyes open until dawn again.

Just like those nights when Jin Yanchen held her in his arms.

*

Chen Mu knew she was back and went to see her with a bunch of scripts and plans.

Liang Hanyue leaned back on the sofa and said with a lack of interest, "Just push it all away."

Chen Mu's eyes widened. "At least take a look, my aunt."

"I don't want to watch." Liang Hanyue looked lazy and had no energy at all.

Chen Mu scratched his head in confusion, "Then you can watch it whenever you want."

"Take it away!" Liang Hanyueye didn't know where the bad mood came from. "I don't want to watch, I don't want to film, I don't want to work, is there anything else you don't understand?"

"Okay, okay!" Chen Mu raised his hands in surrender. "You should have a good rest. Call me when you feel like working."

Liang Hanyue didn't say anything.

Chen Mu sighed helplessly, got up and left.

-

Qin Yishen stormed into the CEO's office, not caring that someone else was there. He angrily said, "You can't keep her locked up in Qiyun forever. She's a person, not an object!"

Jin Yanchen was not angry, and said calmly: "It's all gone."

Several managers stood up and left.

Qin Yishen said again: "Jin Yanchen, how far do you want to push her?"

Jin Yanchen didn't answer, but stood up and said, "Come with me."

Qin Yishen: "..."

"Miss, it's hot outside, you'd better come inside." Aunt He came out to persuade her for the sixth time.

Liang Hanyue's expression was gentle. "I'm not hot. Aunt He, please go in. I want to sit by myself for a while."

Unable to persuade her, Aunt He went back into the house, shaking her head.

Liang Hanyue lowered her head again and watched the ants on the ground moving things bit by bit.

The curled eyelashes cast a dark shadow on the eyes, and the expression was dull and numb, like a withered rose, without nutrients and vitality.

Qin Yishen was almost suffocated just by looking at it.

Jin Yanchen put his hands in his pockets, his eyes cold, "Did you see clearly? I didn't imprison her here, she imprisoned herself."

Since I brought her back, I have never told her that she can only stay in Qiyun, nor have I ever restricted her personal freedom.

She even personally sent some good resources to Chen Mu and asked Chen Mu to come to her.

Even so, she was unwilling to go out to work or see people. She spent the whole day either in her room or in the back garden.

Qin Yishen was heartbroken, "Have you ever thought of finding a doctor for her? Her condition is clearly——"

"Do you think she will believe the doctor I found?!" Jin Yanchen's dark eyes flashed with mockery.

It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but he was afraid that she wouldn't be willing or believe it.

"I..." Qin Yishen hesitated, then said, "Can I take her away?"

Jin Yanchen raised his eyebrows, "What if I say no?"

"She's already like this!" Qin Yishen really wanted to punch him, "Do we really have to watch her die?"

Jin Yanchen's eyes were as deep as the abyss. "If I wanted to see her die, you wouldn't be standing here."

Qin Yishen no longer hesitated and said regardless: "I want to take her away!"

Without giving Jin Yanchen a chance to speak, she walked straight into the back garden, her voice hoarse, "Liang Hanyue..."

Hearing the voice, Liang Hanyue turned her head to look at him, and said calmly, "You're here."

Qin Yishen forced a far-fetched smile, "Well, I wanted to come see you when I had nothing to do."

Liang Hanyue: "Stop laughing, it's uglier than crying."

The corners of his mouth drooped, and his eyes were filled with unconcealed worry. "You look much more haggard."

"Really?" She touched her dry skin, which looked like a bitter melon that had lost its moisture. "I used to try so hard to lose weight, but now I don't have to."

Qin Yishen walked up to her, squatted down, and whispered, "Come with me, okay?"

The voice was very soft, with a hint of pleading.

"Where to?" Liang Hanyue asked, "Where else can I go?"

"You can go to many places as long as you want." Qin Yishen replied.

"But I don't want to. I don't want to go anywhere."

"Remember you promised me that you would treat me as a friend, right?" Qin Yishen asked patiently.

Liang Hanyue nodded.

"Shouldn't friends help each other?" Qin Yishen looked up at her, "I helped you before, now it's your turn to help me."

Liang Hanyue didn't ask how she could help him. She subconsciously looked at Jin Yanchen who was standing behind the floor-to-ceiling window, as if she was worried about something.

"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to help me, I will take care of the rest." Qin Yishen seemed to see through her thoughts.

Liang Hanyue didn't agree immediately, "Can I think about it?"

Qin Yishen smiled: "Of course, call me when you think it's done."

Liang Hanyue pursed her lips and nodded.

……

Perhaps because he didn't want to affect her mood, Jin Yanchen reduced the number of times he appeared in front of her, and even did not rest in the bedroom at night, but slept in the study.

There are obviously many guest rooms.

Liang Hanyue seemed unaware of this matter, and turned a blind eye to it, immersed in her own little world.

It was silent and life seemed to be left with only endless loneliness.

During the rainy season, the rain drops keep falling.

Unable to go to the back garden, she stayed in the room in a daze.

When Lin Wanyue came over, the hem of her cheongsam was wet by the rain. She handed the umbrella to the servant, stroked the hem of her skirt nonchalantly, and went upstairs leisurely.

Liang Hanyue glanced at her sideways, too lazy to even pretend.

Lin Wanyue walked up to her and leaned against the window, looking down at her carefully. "This is the first time I've looked at you so carefully. You are indeed very beautiful. Anyone who looks at you will feel happy."

No one doesn't like beautiful people or things.

Liang Hanyue raised her eyelids and said, "You shouldn't be here."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to show off or provoke anything." Lin Wanyue brushed the fabric around her waist, slowly and gracefully sat down beside her, and said softly, "I just want to see what kind of girl Jin Yanchen likes."

Liang Hanyue didn't know what she was thinking, nor did she care. "Now that you've seen it, aren't you disappointed?"

Compared to her elegance and dignity, I now look unkempt and extremely sloppy.

"It's not that I'm disappointed, I just think you shouldn't belittle yourself like this." Lin Wanyue answered with a hint of regret.

"What's this new trick?" Liang Hanyue didn't understand.

Lin Wanyue curved her lips and said, "You are the heroine, but I am not a vicious female supporting role. You don't have to worry that I will harm you."

Liang Hanyue frowned, "Then what are you doing here?"

Lin Wanyue: "Look at you, chat with you."

Liang Hanyue: "We? What can we talk about?"

Lin Wanyue: "We can talk about a lot, such as the relationship between Jin Yanchen and me. I believe he has told you everything."

Liang Hanyue: "Is what he said true?"

"Then do you want to listen to my version?" Lin Wanyue smiled with her eyes curved into crescents. Her smile was clean and warm, without any impurities.

Liang Hanyue remained silent, which also meant she agreed.

Lin Wanyue thought for a moment and said softly, "The Lin family has been a family of scholars for generations. Although we are neighbors with the Jin family and have occasional interactions, my parents look down on the Jin family's money-grubbing, so they rarely let me interact with Jin Yanchen. They lock me up at home all day, either practicing calligraphy or practicing the guzheng."

"According to them, girls should be virtuous and good at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I have always followed their expectations and grown up and lived the way they wanted. Even when my family immigrated, I followed them to live abroad, a life I never really liked."

Although she said this with a smile, Liang Hanyue saw loneliness and disappointment in her eyes.

"I always thought they were reasonable, that as long as I listened to them, I'd have a good life. But life abroad isn't that easy! My father's investments failed, my mother's paintings were no longer popular, and our lives were in tatters. They wanted to use my marriage to save the declining Lin family, and the man they carefully selected for me was a Middle Eastern oil tycoon who already had three wives..."

Liang Hanyue's eyelashes trembled slightly. She didn't expect that her life was also a mess.

Lin Wanyue: "At this time, Jin Yanchen appeared. He needed me to return to the capital and I needed him to help me get out of that disgusting marriage."

"Jin Yanchen doesn't like me. He's hanging out with me so that I can protect you from danger."

Liang Hanyue said calmly: "I know."

"No, you don't know." Lin Wanyue said seriously, "The danger I'm talking about isn't just Jin Nuo, but also some organizations and mercenaries."

"Mercenaries?" Liang Hanyue glanced at them, not expecting things to develop to such a serious level.

"I don't know who sent those people, but they tried every possible way to assassinate Jin Yanchen, and even kill me."

Lin Wanyue unbuttoned her cheongsam, revealing her snow-white shoulders with a scar prominently visible.

"I blocked this bullet wound for him. Here..." She pointed to her abdomen, "I should say I blocked it for you. If you hadn't been rushed to the hospital in time, I'm afraid I would have really been reincarnated."

Liang Hanyue's breathing stagnated and she stared at the wound on her abdomen.

"I won't go into the poisoning, strangulation, and stabbings." Lin Wanyue spoke calmly, as if she wasn't the one who had escaped death. "During the time when he distanced himself from you, I really was living on the edge of a knife every day. If I wasn't careful, I might not even know how I died."

Liang Hanyue couldn't imagine how many assassination attempts he had experienced.

"Who on earth has he offended?"

"I don't know. I asked him, but he didn't tell me. Maybe you can ask him." Lin Wanyue said helplessly, "Maybe he will tell you."

Liang Hanyue didn't say anything.

Lin Wanyue: "This is what happened when Jin Yanchen and I were together recently. As for the rest, there is nothing else. Even if he is nice to me, it's just a show for others to see. The rest is just compensation. After all, I really risked my life to help him."

"Did Jin Yanchen ask you to come?" Liang Hanyue asked.

Lin Wanyue shook her head: "He's not that boring. Now that the matter has been resolved, I hope I won't be regarded as a vicious female supporting role."

"But you like Jin Yanchen." Otherwise, you wouldn't help him take the bullet!

"I like Jin Yanchen, so what?" Lin Wanyue admitted it frankly without hiding anything.

Liang Hanyue was surprised by her frankness.

"It would be strange not to like a man like him." Lin Wanyue thought.

"Then why are you telling me all this?" It won't do her any good.

"I like him, but he doesn't like me. I won't waste my youth and sacrifice my life for a man who doesn't have me in his heart."

The main reason she agreed to come back was to avoid marrying an oil tycoon and becoming his fourth wife, not to become Jin Yanchen's wife.

Liang Hanyue looked at her with new eyes, "I suddenly feel...he is not worthy of your love."

Lin Wanyue lowered her head and smiled: "Maybe! No matter what, I will explain everything clearly. As for the matter between you two, you can solve it yourselves."

She came today hoping that they could resolve their issues properly and not involve herself.

Liang Hanyue: "Thank you."

It’s not about thanking her for shielding me from so many dangers, but thanking her for her honesty.

Lin Wanyue buttoned up her dress, stood up and straightened her cheongsam, "Then I'll be leaving."

Liang Hanyue sat down and didn't get up to see her off. "Are you going back?"

Lin Wanyue softly said "hmm" to the doctor, paused, and added, "Ms. Liang, I've seen your play, and you act very well. I think a girl like you is born to shine in front of the camera, rather than stay in a corner."

Liang Hanyue was stunned. "I have another question."

"You ask."

"When you went abroad, Jin Yanchen went to pursue you and almost paralyzed the traffic in Beijing." Liang Hanyue looked at her with curiosity. She couldn't understand why Jin Yanchen would make such a fuss if he didn't like her.

"About this matter..." She smiled, with a hint of mischief in her smile, "He's not pursuing me, but for this..."

She took out a rubber band from her pearl bag. There was a small moon hanging on the black rubber band, which looked like it had been there for a long time.

Liang Hanyue took the rubber band and thought it looked familiar, as if she had used it before.

"If I hadn't guessed, this thing should be yours." Lin Wanyue guessed, "He has always regarded it as a treasure. I took it away when he wasn't paying attention. This is the first time in my life that I have done such an extraordinary thing."

"Why did you take this?" A broken rubber band didn't seem unusual.

"When I confessed my feelings to him, he said I looked like the girl he liked and that I had an extra character in my name. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to tell me even one more character."

Lin Wanyue sighed helplessly, "Just refuse if you want to. Why humiliate others and look down on others?"

Liang Hanyue was pinching the rubber band, and many things in her mind seemed to slowly become connected, and she figured it all out.

It turns out that he is not Lin Wanyue's substitute.

It turns out that Lin Wanyue is his stand-in.

From the beginning to the end, the only person Jin Yanchen loved was himself.

But it was too late to know all this, too late.

The scar was already there, and she couldn't ignore it.

I won't be moved to tears by these things and forgive his concealment and hurt.

Perhaps all this shows that there was only love but no trust between her and Jin Yanchen, and it seemed reasonable that they had reached a dead end.
